Prediction: 2-2
Swindon
AFC Wimbledon will look to build on a splendid FA Cup win (5-0) over Ramsgate when they take on Swindon Town in the League Two round 21. The Dons aim to give fans yet another reason to celebrate, but Saturday’s game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Iraq forward Ali Al-Hamadi, who produced a brilliant display in the FA Cup triumph.
The Robins, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Mansfield (2-1) and Accrington (4-3) and given their attacking potential, over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered. In their last meeting in the English fourth tier Swindon outplayed AFC Wimbledon 5-1 and yet another high-scoring affair is on the horizon. Experienced forward Charlie Austin could sneak into Swindon’s starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the last league game.
Highlighted Player (Nikola Tzanev):
Nikola Tzanev is a New Zealand goalkeeper who started his youth career at Crystal Palace. Tzanev then moved to Brentford and he continued wearing the red and white shirt at senior level. After ending his loan spell with Lewes, the 195-cm-tall shoot-stopper moved to AFC Wimbledon in 2017.
During the 2018/2019 campaign he played for Potters Bar Town as a loan player, but at the end of the season he returned to AFC Wimbledon. He made his League One debut with the Dons on August 3, 2019 in a 2-1 loss to Rotherham United. Speaking of his international career, Nik Tzanev made his New Zealand debut in a 1-0 win over Chinese Taipei on June 5, 2018.
The Dons goalkeeper has 3 caps for the New Zealand U20 team as well. Nikola Tzanev was born in Wellington on December 23, 1996 and his preferred foot is right.
